Will take that finish to the half any day of the week. We are getting skinned on the outside at the moment.

I cannot figure out why they are bouncing off so many tackles, we're winning the tackle count but there just isn't enough wrapping up.

To win this we will probably need to make it a score from clearances game. I'm on level 4 on the Wing so have a very good view of structure and setup. Kozzie was in the middle for the first bounce and no others. His pace at ground level can't be ignored, it WILL give them problems. Get him in there more for the love of God. 

And note to  opposition teams match day entertainment. No one cares for the are you paying attention thing, I'm trying to write this.

It’s too risky to activate the sub this early. If we cop an injury we are in trouble. 
They won’t make the change until late in the third at the earliest.

Can someone explain why they think Kossie should be a midfielder?

Because he wins the footy, pressures the opposition and is a decent kick going inside 50.

Can you explain why he shouldn't be?

Tigers are playing very good footy. Unfortunately Harmes missed those two shots at goal - he kicks those and his game looks very different. As it is he is worst on ground.

Hunter is having a mare. 

I feel like we got sold a dud here. I thought he was a much better player

Oooof what a mess.

61pts against us, so far, in a half. Our backline is a mess and has been for a while. What happened to our fortress?

Typical for us to serve this [censored] after port and the lions open up an avenue to second place. 

And what the hell was that from Gus??

Kozzie back in the middle, just get Harmes to tag somebody, best use we can get from him, and EVERYBODY PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT and stop giving them cheap goals.

The fortress is exhausted from saving their ars#s time after time week after week.

It is inevitable

And you forgot one important thing. He has PACE

Without Clarry and Sparrow we are very one dimensional. Gus, Viney and JJ aren’t fast.

If it went south he might be in jail.

No “might” about it. Very serious charges, and previous form. Have there been any other examples of someone playing who’s out on bail?

45 metres out on the run.  Players free and …

miskick to tigers player. Ffs !!!

He has been so slow all day.

 

Kozzie won the first few centre clearances at the start of the match then goody put him in the forward line. 

He creates something 

Need to lock it in our forward line more.

We have to get on top in the contest. The only way to beat the Richmond chaos ball, is to get your hands on the ball more and first. 

Need to shutdown Meatball & Dusty if possible.

Melk jvr chandler nowhere near it today

Also because we are struggling for options in this department.

Must get on top in the middle. If we invite too many defensive entries they are going to stuff us.

Come on dees. Big 2nd half. Lets go

Richmond kaos ball going i50 is showing up May and Lever, who both cannot bend over to get the ball. Their small/med forwards tearing up up

Very damm simple he has no tank put him in for a full quarter and that's him, great speed in short bursts and sometimes that's how some players are, then they become a liability sooner him stay inside the 50 metre arc more dangerous. 

Light drizzle for part of HT... Great!

Melksham really struggles to play more than one good game in a row. Now it's three. Chandler only one good act. Jvr has been okay but needs to hold more marks.

Rain is coming and our subs a tall

Tigers are desperately playing for their finals chances. We really have to step up in the second half. 

Well this is the quarter we will see if we want a flag more than these pretenders want to scrape into the eight.
